“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."― Stephen Fry (on censorship)

4.5 stars. An excellent short fic full of miscommunication and angst, angst, angst! Alpha Jared (twelve years his senior) watches neighbour's son Jensen grow from age thirteen through sixteen. Beta Jensen cannot resist any longer and sneaks out to be with Jared during the first heat of his sixteenth year with dramatic consequences.
